See workforce risk and utilization gaps with hcm insights before they hit margins
Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) firm leaders need real-time visibility into workforce capacity, utilization, and skill coverage to protect project margins. The hcm insights application turns fragmented HR and delivery data into live dashboards that expose trends across headcount, availability, utilization, certifications, and workforce-mix directly in Microsoft Teams, web, or mobile.
Are workforce blind spots delaying delivery and eroding project margins?
Most AEC firms cannot quickly connect workforce data to project performance. HR, delivery, and finance teams rely on manual reports, which means staffing decisions lag behind real project demand. When workforce signals are delayed or incomplete, the same issues repeat across projects:
Workforce data sits across disconnected HR systems, spreadsheets, and project tools
Resource decisions rely on outdated reports instead of live utilization data
Leadership lacks visibility into capacity, bench risk, and upcoming staffing gaps
Certification and license tracking is inconsistent across offices and disciplines
Turn workforce data into real-time delivery and capacity intelligence
The hcm insights application connects workforce, project, and organizational data and surfaces it through live, drillable dashboards. Instead of waiting for static HR reports, leadership can track how workforce trends directly impact utilization, delivery capacity, and project execution.
- Track headcount, utilization trends, leave patterns, and workforce-mix across offices, disciplines, and project teams
- Filter workforce views by role, discipline, project assignment, or employment type
- Drill into employee-level data to understand the drivers behind utilization gaps or staffing risks
Detect workforce patterns that impact utilization and delivery outcomes
Workforce decisions in AEC firms directly affect project timelines, fee burn, and margin performance. The hcm insights application surfaces the signals behind staffing risk, utilization gaps, and capacity constraints so teams can act before delivery is affected.
Track workforce capacity across projects and disciplines
Workforce growth without visibility creates overstaffing in some areas and shortages in others. The hcm insights application shows how headcount and FTE distribution align with active projects and pipeline demand so firms can plan accurately.
- Monitor headcount and FTE trends across offices, disciplines, and project teams
- Analyze workforce distribution by role, seniority, and project allocation
- Identify imbalances between available capacity and project demand
Understand availability gaps before staffing issues escalate
Unplanned leave and uneven workload distribution disrupt project timelines and resource allocation. The hcm insights application provides visibility into availability trends so staffing decisions reflect real capacity.
- Compare leave usage and availability across disciplines and offices
- Analyze patterns by leave type, approval status, and project assignment
- Assess workforce availability for upcoming project phases and milestones
Identify attrition risks that impact delivery continuity
Unexpected departures create delivery gaps and increase reliance on reactive hiring or subconsultants. The hcm insights application highlights where attrition trends are building so firms can act before project execution is affected.
- Track exits by discipline, role, office, or project involvement
- Compare attrition patterns across teams to detect emerging risks
- Identify turnover trends linked to experience level or project workload
Monitor workforce-mix across roles, disciplines, and levels
An unbalanced workforce-mix affects utilization, billing rates, and project profitability. The hcm insights app helps firms understand how workforce composition aligns with project requirements and reporting obligations.
- Analyze workforce distribution by discipline, role, and seniority
- Compare staffing mix across projects, offices, and business units
- Evaluate alignment between workforce structure and project fee models
- Track demographic composition to support EEOC and compliance reporting requirements on federally funded or publicly contracted projects
Track certifications and licenses to maintain project readiness
AEC delivery depends on licensed professionals and certified expertise. Gaps in credentials can delay project work or create compliance risks. The hcm insights application ensures visibility into workforce readiness across teams.
- Monitor certifications, licenses, and expirations across disciplines
- Identify upcoming renewal requirements and compliance gaps
- Export skill and certification data to support staffing and project planning
Ask workforce questions and get immediate answers
Manual reporting slows decision making when leadership needs answers quickly. Copilots within evergreen allow teams to explore workforce data using natural language and receive instant insights.
- Ask questions like “Which discipline has the lowest utilization this quarter?”
- Detect anomalies in capacity, workforce-mix, or attrition trends
- Share insights and export filtered data directly within Microsoft Teams
Get from workforce data to informed decisions without waiting on reports
The hcm insights application brings workforce intelligence closer to where decisions happen so leadership can investigate trends and act on current data.
- Step 1
Access dashboards in Microsoft Teams or Microsoft Power BI and explore workforce metrics with interactive filters
- Step 2
Drill into visuals to analyze employee-level data and historical workforce trends
- Step 3
Share insights, export reports, and distribute dashboards to stakeholders directly within Teams
Give every team clarity on workforce capacity and risk
Different roles need different views of workforce performance. The hcm insights application delivers role-specific visibility so decisions across HR, delivery, and finance stay aligned.
HR leadership
Monitor workforce composition, attrition, certification coverage, and compliance data with self-service dashboards that reduce reliance on manual reporting.
Delivery leaders
Understand utilization and capacity across disciplines and identify staffing risks that could delay project milestones or affect fee recovery.
Finance teams

evergreen and empower working together
evergreen provides the operational and financial foundation for AEC firms by connecting projects, resources, financials, and workforce data in one governed system.
empower is the decision intelligence layer that sits above your system of record or evergreen. It interprets operational signals across delivery, finance, and workforce data, and uses AI agents and copilots to guide decisions across the project lifecycle.
Because workforce insights are tied directly to project and financial data, firms gain a clearer view of how staffing decisions affect utilization, fee burn, and margin outcomes.
